[QUOTE="pnwobrigade, post: 1752162, member: 51039"] Seems like an oddly silly complaint. The amount of people that actually need or use beadlocks on Raptor is probably <1% and of the ones that do probably never talk about it. I have true beadlocks on my UTV because well I rarely ever run more than 10psi and in winter see as low as 2-3psi. Summer in the high desert blasting through rock at 70mph I like to know my tire will generally stay on my wheel. Beadlocks on a street driven vehicle is pointless end of story. They will likely leak at some point, require re-torqueing as mentioned, have a max psi you can run pretty much negating any "truck" duties the Raptor will see such as towing, and other negative benefits. Not to mention if you pull into just about any tire shop they won't touch them unless it's a specialty shop and even then they likely won't work on them unless you trailer your rig there due to liability and regulations. Talk to Innov8 or even Method and they will tell you how they machine the lips of their wheels slightly different than others to combat bead slippage or unseating. Ultimately, if you aren't running under 20psi for long periods of true off-roading or actual baja racing they are for looks...hence many if not all wheels using "beauty rings". As one poster said and it's 100% true, if you actually thought an OEM gave you bead locks right from the show room floor you clearly don't understand and likely wouldn't ever need them. Also, yes most states outlaw the use of them on public road ways. [/QUOTE]
